British Isles Since 1945

Klappentext Since 1945 Great Britain has experienced the loss of the empire, economic decline and recovery, entry into Europe, evolution into a multicultural society and devolution. In this book, six distinguished historians each take a theme and set out the fundamental nature and development of each. As well as discussing the history of the British Isles, this text explores Britain's relations with the wider world and sets localized events within the wider context of the Cold War and the growing impact of Europe on all aspects of life in the British Isles.
